The birdfeeder has flocks of birds visiting all year with delightful variety! We offer all the comforts of home since we also come here for our haven getaway. We have collected art, antiques and nature treasures. Enjoy reading my son's journal of the beavers living in the valley with maps of the dams and lodges! Red Oak post and beam construction have created an open kitchen, dining room and comfortable living room. A separate family room offers an extensive library and entertainment center plus another sleeping area for 2 with use of downstairs bathroom. Large windows and a sun room give views of perennial gardens, bird traffic to the bird feeder and bath, cheeky chipmunks and squirrels running on the garden fence and silent deer. Sunlight warms the golden hues of the oak floors, wainscoting, furniture and butternut cabinets. The heated sunporch offers a lush jungle of flowering plants and herbs year round. 3 bedrooms upstairs and a hall space have beds for 8, dressers and closets. (one large bedroom has a queen and king bed in it.) An upstairs bathroom has a claw foot tub for a cozy soak. Because we are opening our home to you with so many personal touches, we ask that you don't come here for a drinking party weekend. The yard offers a picnic table and lawn chairs, a badminton net, a stone fire pit for roasting marshmallows or hot dogs and relaxing by the fire's glow in the dark forest with its night sounds. There is a charcoal grill. In season, the garden may have tomatoes, herbs, cucumbers, peppers. The yard and grassy clearings in the woods have scrumptious wild berries to pick; red raspberries, strawberries, black caps mid summer and big blackberries in August and September. You can see eagles and hawks soaring above and in the spring and fall, flocks of geese pass over with their plaintive honks. Explore West Beaver Valley. Hike dry runs for crystal rocks, fossils and hidden waterfalls cut deep in the rock. Climb the bluffs to rock outcroppings with caves and wild inhabitants! Follow West Beaver Creek, rich with rare songbirds, herons, kingfishers, a mallard hiding her ducklings in the weeds. Wade or be brave and swim in a deep refreshing pool! Hike the mowed trails in Beaver Park. Take a tour of historic Schech's Mill and buy cornmeal or buckwheat flour, all within a mile! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Library - Music library - Stereo - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Patio - Yard ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - 17 steps to reach entrance - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - No elevator - Thin carpet in public areas - Well-lit path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board - Phone ### Location highlights - In a rural location - Near a hospital ### Things to do - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Birdwatching nearby - Canoeing nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - At least 80% of food locally-sourced - Bicycle parking - Bicycle storage - Composting - Comprehensive food waste policy - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Eco-friendly cleaning products used - Garden - Geothermal energy - Local culture and ecosystem education - Solar energy ## Similar properties ![View from property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/25600/25516/1062bbaa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kahler Grand Hotel Downtown Rochester - Pool - Hot tub - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.4 Very Good 1,953 reviews $149 nightly $172 total Mar 22 - Mar 23 Total with taxes and fees [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-22&endDate=2026-03-23&selected=25516&PinnedHotelID=25516&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Front of property](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/910000/904700/904615/404886d5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aspen Suites Rochester - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Pet friendly 9.0 Wonderful 767 reviews $152 nightly $175 total Mar 18 - Mar 19 Total with taxes and fees [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-18&endDate=2026-03-19&selected=904615&PinnedHotelID=904615&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Breakfast, lunch, dinner served;

There was a bit of adventure getting there (apparently, GPS can think there are roads where there are none, depending on which side you enter from), but a quick call, and we were sorted. We loved the house, and seeing all of the beautiful scenery surrounding it. While the weather didn't cooperate for us to do as much exploring as we would have liked, the house was perfect!

It is not far from other houses, but the woods make it feel like you are in your own secluded get-away. The birds that visited the feeder were very entertaining.

This was by far the most wonderful place we stayed. The house and surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, the layout of the spaces is well-thought out and very practical, and we were able to fit all of our people, all of our stuff, and all 4 of our vehicles. The house book is very helpful and detailed, with information about everything you might need to know. The plant room was a magical place to sit in the mornings and afternoons to read or just have some quiet time. We had a fantastic stay! ##### Chloe F.

The setting back in the woods is beautiful with all the flora and fauna. Lynn made sure there was a run down of all the activities in the area, as well as favorite things to do in the woods and streams around the house. We went in the heat of July so care had to be taken to keep the house cool and well ventilated. The whole home was very well stocked, we wanted for nothing. Thanks for letting us stay! ##### Dale E.

It was wonderful! The house was so perfect for a family vacation together. Besides relaxing at the home, we went on some hikes, visited the nearby running mill (don't miss it!), visited some of the Amish farms nearby, and even made a short day-trip to the quaint town of Decorah, Iowa also visiting the Seed Exchange on the way. What a beautiful part of Minnesota! Loved our experience immensely. Thanks so much, Lynn. ##### Ivan V.

Nice & secluded home. Outside steps are in need of repair. Place is musty, took a day to air out.Several spiders crawled out of the drain every time you took a shower. ##### Verified traveler Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2023 ## Explore a world of travel with Expedia - [Lodging](?equalTargetTab=tab-0) - [Flights](?equalTargetTab=tab-1) - [Packages](?equalTargetTab=tab-2) - [Cars](?equalTargetTab=tab-3) - [Vacation Rentals](?equalTargetTab=tab-4) - [Country Charm Over River Valley And Horse Farm](https://www.expedia.com/Modern-Country-Home-Overlooking-River-Valley-And-Horse-Farm.h75011120.Hotel-Information) - [Country Cabin In The Heart Of Amish Country In Scenic Valley Near Canton, MN](https://www.expedia.com/Canton-Hotels-Country-Cabin-In-The-Heart-Of-Amish-Country-In-Scenic-Valley-Near-Canton.h33657397.Hotel-Information) - [The Hen House Retreat - A Comfortable Place to Roost](https://www.expedia.com/Lanesboro-Hotels-The-Hen-House-Retreat-A-Comfortable-Place-To-Roost.h34481523.Hotel-Information) - [Root River Valley Cabin \~ Lanesboro, MN](https://www.expedia.com/Lanesboro-Hotels-Root-River-Valley-Cabin-Lanesboro.h27130984.Hotel-Information) - [Creekside Cabin Getaway](https://www.expedia.com/Winona-Hotels-Creekside-Cabin-Getaway.h27502441.Hotel-Information) - [The Exchange 26 | Historic Bldg, 2 Bed, Dwntwn](https://www.expedia.com/Winona-Hotels-The-Exchange-26-Historic-Bldg.h92562732.Hotel-Information) - [Mcr is a property that features seclusion and privacy that is hard to find.](https://www.expedia.com/Rushford-Hotels-MCR-Is-A-Property-That-Features-Seclusion-And-Privacy-That-Is-Hard-To-Find.h29668969.Hotel-Information) - [Harmony Home w/ Fire Pit: 5 Mi to Niagara Cave!](https://www.expedia.com/Harmony-Hotels-Harmony-Home-W-Fire-Pit-5-Mi-To-Niagara-Cave.h100166961.Hotel-Information) - [Walkable Main Street Location: Spring Grove Apt](https://www.expedia.com/Spring-Grove-Hotels-Walkable-Main-Street-Location-Spring-Grove-Apt.h114143262.Hotel-Information) - [Pet-Friendly Spring Grove Home w/ Serene Yard!](https://www.expedia.com/Spring-Grove-Hotels-Pet-Friendly-Spring-Grove-Home-Wserene-Yard.h93548497.Hotel-Information) - [Hokah Ohana House: Historic charm, Modern updates](https://www.expedia.com/Hokah-Hotels-Hokah-Ohana-House-Historic-Charm.h89396222.Hotel-Information) - [La Crescent Cottage on Minnesota Bluffs w/ View!](https://www.expedia.com/Dakota-Hotels-La-Crescent-Cottage-On-Minnesota-Bluffs-W-View.h94958840.Hotel-Information) - [Warm and Cozy Upstairs Apartment\\n](https://www.expedia.com/Caledonia-Hotels-Warm-And-Cozy-Upstairs-Apartment.h95445311.Hotel-Information) - [Cozy Oak Street Cottage](https://www.expedia.com/Mabel-Hotels-Cozy-Oak-Street-Cottage.h102424374.Hotel-Information) - [Secluded Home - Views of Mississippi River remote location 15 min from La Crosse](https://www.expedia.com/Brownsville-Hotels-Newly-Remodeled-Vacation-Home-Great-Views-Of-Mississippi-Near-La-Crosse.h33939327.Hotel-Information) - [Studio apartment overlooking the beautiful Mississippi River](https://www.expedia.com/Brownsville-Hotels-Studio-Apartment-Overlooking-The-Beautiful-Mississippi-River.h34012613.Hotel-Information) - [Auggie's home in Mississippi](https://www.expedia.com/Brownsville-Hotels-Auggies-Home-On-Mississippi.h38363100.Hotel-Information) - [Steps to Root River: Home w/ Large Yard!](https://www.expedia.com/Preston-Hotels-Steps-To-Root-River-Home-W-Large-Yard.h113290717.Hotel-Information) - [Bluff Country Farmhouse with a view](https://www.expedia.com/Peterson-Hotels-Bluff-Country-Farmhouse-With-A-View.h29608342.Hotel-Information) - [Hatlevig Valley](https://www.expedia.com/Peterson-Hotels-Hatlevig-Valley.h83962477.Hotel-Information) - [Flights to Houston County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Houston-County.d553248635976431247.Flight-Destinations) - [Houston County Vacations](https://www.expedia.com/Houston-County.d553248635976431247.Destination-Travel-Guides) - [Car rentals near Houston County](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Houston-County.d553248635976431247.Car-Rental-Destinations) - [Houston County Vacation Rentals](https://www.expedia.com/Destinations-In-Houston-County.d553248635976431247.Vacation-Rental-Destinations)
